"He's a drab looking little guy with a comfortable paunch, but don't ever try to land a fist on him if you want to wake up before tomorrow. Sure, he admits to forty, but in those forty years he's mopped up Frisco with more tough guys than you want to think about. For he's the Continental Op and there isn't a rogues' gallery in the country that doesn't show his mark. We are proud to bring you this brand new collection featuring three stories of the Op at his man-eating best, plus three newly discovered tough tales by the one and only Dashiell Hammett.".
